Hi Members and Friends,
I hope this message finds you and your family feeling well and safe.
As you probably already know, based on the recommendations and guidelines from NY State, we have been shut down since last week. Since then we’ve been hard at work transforming our company into a virtual training company.
We’ve had great feedback from our online classes, online sessions, as well as nutritional consulting programs so far. I have also received some very encouraging messages from people telling me they are sticking with us, keeping their membership, as well as a few local heroes offering to help out staff that has been affected by limited training hours and cancellations. I don’t think I can express how much the support means to me.
In a way, those messages have motivated me to reach out to the entire SFP membership and friends. This message was tough to write for me. With all the chaos and uncertainty going on right now it’s hard to know what’s the right thing to do. Normally, I wouldn’t ask something so boldly, but I do believe we can offer some great value with our online offerings and it’s the only path I see forward to keep the staff working.
I do believe that in times of crisis we can shrink and worry.. or we can do what we can to get better. It’s a choice. We’re choosing to lean in and develop plans and programs to support everyone through this time. Most of the athletes who train with us throughout the year have had their seasons cancelled with no clear training plan in place to stay in shape. I also know that people are sitting with a lot of time on their hands who might want to help and be helped. Our coaches are ready and we have the technology in place to make it happen.
If you are a current member (or parent of a member) and you have not been negatively impacted financially, we ask you to hang in there with us. If you are a former member sitting home and you’d like a plan.. we can support you to get you back on a program.
We are currently offering:
Free Lunch and Learns at noon Monday - Thursday
Free online programs via email
Online Training Classes 2x per day (schedule will expand)
Online Semi-private sessions
Online private training sessions
Online programming via Mobile Training App
Nutritional consulting and accountability
And we keep adding more each week...
Here is what we would like to suggest as we head into the month of April:
If you have a job where you are continuing to get paid we are suggesting that you keep your membership. If you participate in our online programs we will make sure we match you up with a program that is compatible to what you pay. If you feel that online training is not for you.. you will continue to accumulate sessions that you can use once we get back up and running live again. If your income has been compromised in some way please do what you have to do and inform me sooner rather than later if you cannot continue your membership.
Please call or text me personally to let me know how we can help you and your family: 631-672-7700
All the best,
Frank
